Master screenshot post

[phred]

Oh no, not at all. I quite enjoy it.

Besides, it keeps me honest.

also these 2 other programs are part of the holy triumvirate of best ever screenshot programs for Windows

1) greenshot (it is simpler than sharex, without the cloud upload and with an amazing editor)
2) ScreenShot Captor.. amazing program, lots of capabilities

I have a question about Imgur... for the life of me I can't figure out how to create new Albums. I feel really stupid.. I know I've done it before (years ago when I last used imgur) because I can move files to those Albums but I cannot figure out how to create a new Album.

On the off chance that they actually nixed this feature (sounds stupid so I think the fault is more that I don't understand their interface), what is a good image uploading/sharing site with nice UI that can/is:

1) free
2) big enough that it isn't going to disappear
3) holds photos for a fairly long time before deleting
4) Album support
5) Ability to have images laid out with a caption and successively down the page the way ImgUr lets you would be nice as well but not as important as the features above.
6) tagging - also nice but not essential.
7) drag and drop on page to add photos

i know this is somewhat old thread, but regarding screensot apps, i do not know why Snagit (by Techsmith) is not mentioned?
possibly the first and the best of screenshot apps. and which i have for over ten years. albeit, i stubbornly would not move past v9.2 becuase they went all MS and each enhanced ver, i regarded as more buggy and problematic than the previous

that said, because of some sort of new Win10 or other bug, i have recently looked for other alts, and came up with Greenshot mentioned here, Ashampoo, PicPick, Win Snap & Fire Shot ... i have installed Greenshot, but am still using Snagit out of sheer habit, bug and all.

Probably because it costs $100 and Greenshot is free.

hmmm. well i just checked and it is just under $US70 (which is about $A100 if you mean that); but in any case, that is hugely different to what i paid all those ago - must have been about $15-$20. and you will note that i actually preferred to stay at ver 9.2 and not move to later versions i regarded as worse, not better, a las MS.

...and Greenshot is free.

As is ShareX, which can do a hell of a lot more than Greenshot. In fact ShareX -uses- Greenshot for its image editing module.

  +1. yes, sharex is a really great program. especially considering that it's free. and considering that there is a portable version.

noted. although i am putting up with two sigificant bugs in Snagit at the moment (one a long-standing issue of not doing scrolling Window capture), i am soooo used to it, it will take a definite effort to change, but maybe. in the meantime, i will check ShareX which did not come up at all in my previous search/es for these apps. Thanks.

did a search and ShareX came up ... one thing i noticed is that it apparently uploads screenshots (or videos) somewhere and copies the link in your Clipboard ... pretty relevant to what we are discussing
